Official Trailer for Powerful Doc 'American Doctor' About Saving Lives

"We do not have to accept that as Americans." Watermelon Pictures debuted their trailer for a documentary film titled American Doctor, a powerful look at the work of doctors who went to Palestine to save lives. This originally premiered at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, and it also played at SXSW, and tons of other major festivals over the last few months. When 3 American doctors – Palestinian, Jewish, Zoroastrian – enter Gaza to save lives, they find themselves caught between medicine and politics, risking everything to expose the truth. From Oscar-nominated filmmaker Poh Si Teng, and made by the producers Simon Kilmurry (winner of 17 Emmys & 6 Peabody Awards) and Oscar nominee Kristine Barford, American Doctor is earning rave reviews and generating important conversations. The film is about 3 physicians who worked to save the lives of children in Gaza who were hit by Israeli bombs. Featuring Dr. Thaer Ahmad, Dr. Mark Perlmutter, & Dr. Feroze Sidhwa. After working in the field, they take their battle from the front lines of war to the halls of Congress. "This is what my tax dollars did!" Together they fight to keep a promise to their Palestinian colleagues and patients, and to continue the struggle where it matters most: the United States. Opens in US theaters starting in August coming up. A vitally important doc on saving lives. ❤️‍🩹 // Continue Reading ›
